When I practice, I hear the music in my mind how I would like to play it on an instrument. But often instruments don&#8217;t respond sufficiently and prevent me from realizing what I hear inside. But with this guitar I can express exactly what I intend to, because of its great contrast, tonal range and projection.<br \/>\nFirst of all, I have been astonished by its power. This guitar has impressive projection: it enables me to play in a trio with double bass and violin without difficulty, despite the fact that these instruments are generally much louder than the guitar.<br \/>\nThe bass range of Florian&#8217;s experimental guitar is also very persuasive; it allows me to effortlessly play the bass lines, giving them equal and fluent emphasis next to the melody in the treble.<br \/>\nI also enormously admire the tone of this guitar. It is able to deliver distinct contrasts and therefore attains a sound that can be round and warm in one moment, and metallic and clear in the next.<br \/>\nIn addition, within the scope of my studies I must interprete music of various epochs and several styles. With this instrument, I can play music of the romantic epoch as well as of the classical Spanish epoch. The sonority of the guitar adapts well to the various styles.<br \/>\nAnother characteristic of this guitar which has been an a pleasant surprise is its light weight. Florian built this guitar to be as light as possible, without compromising its performance.<br \/>\nIn short, due to all the possibilities that this guitar offers, I can advance my interpretations much further, and even improve my professional skills.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Official Website of Maxime Perron\" href=\"http:\/\/www.perronguitariste.com\" target=\"_blank\">Maxime Perron, Professional Guitarist<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"Official Website of Maxime Perron\" href=\"http:\/\/www.perronguitariste.com\" target=\"_blank\">Qu\u00e9bec, QC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I have known Florian Vorreiter for two years. In my capacity as both a professional guitarist (who has had the good fortune to demo Mr. Vorreiter\u2019s creations) and professional photographer (who has provided the photography for Mr. Vorreiter\u2019s website and promotional materials), I am uniquely qualified to comment on the aesthetic and musical quality of his instruments.<br \/>\nFlorian\u2019s guitars are not only innovative for the sake of innovation. They are, in fact, the product of a long, disciplined education [&#8230;] rooted in ancient European tradition, driven by a fiercely intelligent, seeking mind. The attention to detail, unique aesthetic, and truly impressive sonic quality evident in his guitars far outstrips what I have seen in the work of most other young luthiers of his station.<br \/>\nIn addition, I believe Florian possesses a certain single-minded dedication and headstrong belief in his own work, overshadowed only by his humility and ever-present eagerness to learn. He also has a strong desire and affinity for teaching others what he has learned. I believe he has a tremendous future ahead of him, and, if he keeps at it, could well be regarded some day as one of Canada\u2019s finest instrument makers, full stop.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Official Website of Art Turner\" href=\"http:\/\/www.artturner.com\" target=\"_blank\">Art Turner, Professional Guitarist and Photographer<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"Official Website of Art Turner\" href=\"http:\/\/www.artturner.com\" target=\"_blank\">Winnipeg, Manitoba<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have had the pleasure to play on Florian&#8217;s classical guitar and was very pleased with the instrument. At first sight, its aesthetics were pleasing to the eye, with straightforward lines, and upon taking a closer look, I fully appreciated the very high quality workmanship exhibited by the instrument. This guitar felt quite light and immediately comfortable to hold in the playing position. As I played, the neck felt very natural and was very even to the touch throughout. The instrument responded wonderfully, whether I played softly or fast and I got a surprisingly good volume out of it, despite the low action of the strings. Florian&#8217;s guitar simply felt natural to play on, providing a great musical experience!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fabrice Gueguin, Amateur Guitarist<br \/>\nSt-Lambert, Quebec<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The experimental guitar by Florian Vorreiter is an instrument which surpassed my expectations.
